Hello,
About a month ago, I took one of the two free official tests provided by the GMAC after familiarizing myself with the test and got a 760. I then did a few hundred practice problems and got a 770 on the second GMAC practice test. Those results made me confident that I could get a 770+ on the real thing, but I ended up with a 730. Then, I purchased the four extra official GMAC exams and got a 770 on all of them. Confident again, I sat down for the exam for a second time yesterday, but got a 720. I’m a college senior looking to apply to Harvard 2+2 and (if that doesn’t work out) other good schools 3-4 years down the line.
Should I just give in and apply with a 730? Would I have a good chance to get 770+ if I really buckled down and studied hard? Would it be worth it to try to do that? I’m distraught and weary about investing too much time and money into this exam; my family’s finances aren’t in the best shape.
Thank you.

Hi kidclutch,
I'm not sure whether you'd like to discuss your Official Scores in more detail or not - but if you do, then I suggest that you post in one of the GMAT-specific Forums (and provide a bit more information about how you studied, the materials you used, Test Day itself, etc.). Since this is the Admissions Consulting Forum, I don't think that it would be appropriate to have a lengthy conversation here about non-Admissions questions.
